"Hanji!" Levi called out to her, raising an eyebrow as he watched her writing in her notebook with a face only reserved for titans.

Hanji continued scribbling in her notebook, now making odd noises.

Levi sighed and walked up to her, slamming his hand on the table. "Hey, Shitty Glasses!"

Hanji quickly whirled around towards him with excitement gleaming in her eyes; unphased by his action as if she was used to it.

Her expression took him aback. "What's with that stupid look on your face?" He couldn't help but notice the smudges of dirt on her cheeks, and the urge to bathe her started to kick in.

She smirked, "I'm glad you asked." She said contently, pushing her glasses back up the bridge of her nose, ready to tell him her findings. "I've found an Abnormal Titan roaming around! It's patterns are unlike any other Titan I've seen!" She exclaimed excitedly, throwing her hands in the air.

Levi's face dropped in annoyance. "That's it?" It's not like it was the first time they've seen an abnormal titan. He reached for the handkerchief in his pocket and started to wipe off the dirt.

"You don't understand!" She pushed aside his hand and stood up with such a force that her chair was flung back a few feet. She placed her hands firmly on his shoulders and looked him in the eye with an excited smile. Levi's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's actions are in a class of it's own! I think it even tried talking to me! If I can capture it, I could experiment on it and further my research!" She let him go, clasping her hands together as she drooled over the possible scientific breakthroughs.

Levi furrowed his eyebrows together. "It.. tried to talk to you?" He asked, confused. "How-" He began but was cut off by Hanji's gasp.

She covered her mouth with both hands as she looked at him with wide eyes. She was too comfortable with him and said too much.

Levi's face remained neutural, you could even say it was calm, but his eyes were a completely different story. Hanji's heart dropped as she saw his pupils narrow into pinpoints, the light from the candle making his eyes seem as if they had a wild fire raging in them.

"I'm only going to ask you this once." He stated slowly in a clipped tone. "When and how did you interact with this Titan?" His mouth formed a hard line as he waited for her response, hoping his hunch was wrong.

Hanji laughed nervously. "My my, why so serious all of a sudden, Levi?" Her voice trembled a little. "Did you not have your afternoon tea?" She rambled, trying to change the subject. "Let's go ma-"

Hanji suddenly found herself pinned against the wall with a furious Levi inches away from her face, staring up at her. "What did you do, Hanji!" He demanded through gritted teeth, his collected composure had fallen completely. She gulped as she realized just how much trouble she was in.

"I- it's really not as bad as you think!" She tried to make light of it all, holding her hands up defensively.

Levi waited for her to continue, all the while his grip on the front of her shirt gradually got tighter as his patience began to dissipate.

"Fine!" Hanji cried out. "I've been going out at night to observe the Titans!" She admitted, avoiding Levi's gaze. "They're sluggish and nearly harmless at night! And I'm learning so much about them!" She pleaded, trying to convince him that it was worth it.

Levi roughly let her go, turning his back to her. "Alone?"

Hanji didn't respond, causing Levi's hands to clench in anger. She could sense the infuriated aura getting more intense. "You're such a moron." He stated in his regular tone, but Hanji couldn't relax just yet. There was still underlying malice in it.

The two of them said nothing for a few minutes, the only sound was the rustle of the trees as the wind gently blew on them. Hanji fidgeted with her hands as she waited for Levi to say something.

Levi slowly turned around to look at her, finally having composed himself and his thoughts. "I hate unnecessary deaths. Whether it's mine or yours." He said curtly in a threatening voice as he headed out the door, slamming it behind him, the noise echoing throughout the room.

Hanji plopped down into her chair in relief as she finally released the breath she was holding in. She leaned forward, resting her forehead on her clasped hands. "I've done it now..." she mumbled to herself.

"Hey, Levi!" Oluo called out to Levi. "Did you tell Hanji that dinner is re-" He bit his tongue in surprise at Levi's face which seethed with rage, his piercing gaze sent shivers down Oluo's spine, clearly giving Oluo a warning to leave him alone.

Levi continued to stomp down the hallway. "A lofer's qwarrel?" He mumbled to himself, confused; his swollen tongue making it difficult to speak.

"That absolute moron!" Levi yelled out in frustration as soon as he was safely in the confines of his room. He knew she had a few screws loose in her head, but this was beyond crazy, even for her. He slid down his door and landed with a thud on the ground, resting his chin on his outstretched arm that lounged on his knee. He wished he could have said more back then, but there was no point. Hanji was just as set in her ways as he was.

He grimaced at the situation and took in a big breath, slowly releasing it out in one long sigh. Something on his hand caught his attention. He brought it up to his face and tried to see what it was. His eyes widened in shock when he realized it was blood, though it was mostly dried by now. She must have just come back from one of her excursions he thought to himself as he stared at his hand. "That idiot." He muttered through clenched teeth.

Just as he was about to get up and face Hanji again, a knock at his door made him jump a little. A female voice called out his name.
